The burden of determining that such material is not protected by copyright, trademark, or other proprietary rights rests with you.

Links to Third Party Sites

The Site contains links to Web sites operated by third parties (“Third Party Sites”) that are not under The Mind Trust’s influence or control. As such, The Mind Trust is not responsible for the content of Third Party Sites. We provide links to Third Party Sites only as a courtesy to our visitors, and such links do not imply our endorsement or support of any linked Third Party Site, the content on the Third Party Site, any organization sponsoring or participating on the Third Party Site, or any product or service offered through the Third Party Site. Any mention on this Site of products or services provided by third parties is for informational purposes only and constitutes neither an endorsement nor a recommendation. The Mind Trust makes no representations and assumes no responsibility whatsoever for any third party content, any content that you may access from a Third Party Site through subsequent links, or any content from any Web site from which you may access this Site. A link to a Third Party Site is not intended as an endorsement of any views that might be expressed or referenced in the Third Party Site. Our Privacy Policy is only applicable to this Site, and does not apply to linked Third Party Sites. Please review the linked Third Party Site’s terms of use and privacy policies, and if you do not agree to be bound by the terms or policies governing the linked site, we recommend that you terminate your visit to the Third Party Site.

Unauthorized Use and Termination

You agree to use the Site only for authorized and legal activities. Unauthorized uses of this Site include unauthorized linking or framing to the Site without the prior, written authorization of The Mind Trust. You also agree not to “deep-link” to any of the Site’s internal web pages for any purpose, unless you are specifically authorized by The Mind Trust to do so. Any unauthorized use of the Site may result in criminal and/or civil prosecution. The Mind Trust reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate your access to all or part of the Site, with or without notice, and for any reason whatsoever.

You expressly agree that all content included in or available through the Site is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis for your use and that you use this Site and any content you choose to download at your sole risk. The content is provided without warranties of any kind, either expressly or by implication, including, but not limited to, warranties of title, non-infringement, or implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose or otherwise, other than those warranties which are incapable of exclusion, restriction, or modification under applicable law. Neither The Mind Trust, nor its employees, officers, directors, members, agents, consultants, contractors, or licensors, make any warranty that the content of the Site or any service provided through it, is accurate, reliable or correct; that the Site, or any linked Third Party Site, will be available at any particular time or location; that any defects or errors will be corrected; that the content is free of viruses or other harmful components; or that you will achieve successful results from following any instructions, directions, or recommendations on the Site.

Limitation of Liability

Under no circumstances shall The Mind Trust, or its employees, officers, directors, members, agents, consultants, contractors, or licensors, be liable for any damages in law or in equity, including without limitation direct, indirect, punitive, incidental, special, or consequential damages that result from the use of, or inability to use, the Site or from the content available on the Site. This limitation applies whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other basis even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damage. Because some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, our liability in such jurisdictions shall be limited to the extent permitted by law.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold The Mind Trust and its employees, officers, directors, members, agents, contractors, and licensors harmless from and against any and all liabilities, claims, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that arise from your use of the Site or its content, including without limitation, your violation of the Agreement. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you agree to cooperate with us in asserting any available defenses.

International Use

By choosing to access the Site from any location other than the United States, you accept full responsibility for compliance with all local laws that are applicable. The Mind Trust makes no representation that materials on the Site are appropriate or available for use in locations outside the United States, and accessing them from territories where such activity is illegal is strictly prohibited.
